GM coming back to Flint

For those in the know, GM and Flint, MI have a long history together. This week, that story just got a little longer. GM announced the construction of a new engine plant that will produce the engine for the new Chevy Volt to be built in Flint, MI. Flint was once a booming middle class suburb until Roger Smith, the then CEO, closed the local plant. The towns following decline was documented in Michael Moore's film, Roger and Me.
